Large-scale structural improvement projects often take many years to complete. Apart from the need to carry out design and construction, we also need time for public consultation, land resumption and clearance, assessment of environmental, traffic and utilities impacts and for procedural requirements under the relevant ordinances.

Local drainage improvement works and first aid measures

Public information, flood warning systems and flood shelters
